Pickles by Brian Crane for March 29, 2023

Earl was housebroken until his doctor gave him a new medication with side effects.

He’s stooped so low.

Earl is probably better off outside!

Kids say the darndest things.

Well, Nelson, they both need to stop butt-scooting on the carpets.

Which is why Torsemide should be taken during waking hours

This “polite society” does not seem to be very polite.

Sometimes “polite society” isn’t fit to have the name “polite society”.

My grandfather used to take off for his shop or huge garden when “the hens” filled the house. Thanks for triggering that memory.

Just not this house.

Well at least one was.

You are probably better off out there , Earl. Roscoe is better company!

I Love Roscoe’s expressions in the first two panels!

Opal doesn’t want Earl ogling their cankles. As if.

Well, most days they are.

They’re housebroken, just not always polite.

He should be GLAD he’s out there..!!!

I’m housebroken. I always flush and put the toilet seat back down!

once he got out the door, he shoulda kept going

On a good day, yes…

Housebroken and from a Broken Home

If Opal didn’t give him advance notice so he could plan something else to do that day, this time I agree Opal was rude. If Earl knew ahead of time, then he is just trying to get sympathy. He could have gone to the park to see Clyde, at least. He could take Roscoe for a walk.

Roscoe is.

Opal has grown accustomed to Earl’s smells, her friends have not.

We are, but they won’t give us access to the litterbox.

Be thankful Earl, do you really want to attend the coven?

Just priceless

At least it’s a nice day to be outside. I wonder were they would go if it were if it were raining- we never see Earl at a coffee shop or the library. (Roscoe would probably be allowed to stay indoors without Earl)

Nelson’s been around Opal too much…her remarks bite!

Well, she picked up all the newspapers. To make matters our stock of old ones is almost gone.

One of the benefits of doubt.

There is housebroken and then there is “housebroken” to wives.

Yes, but not hausfrau-broken.

So where does she make him stay when her Men friends are over?

He should tell her if she doesn’t want any of her friends to see the man who financially provided for her… she should pack up and live with her friends until she can learn to treat him with respect. Hit the road Opal and don’t you come back no more…
